Hi, I'm looking for anyone who might be related to the Roe family. Originally from Ontario, then some move to Victoria. There was Charles Roe married to Hattie Finch and the had a son Marcus. I think this is right. Also Charles had a sister Mabel. Just wondering if there are some relatives around that could give me more info on all the family.
Thanks

Hello!
I've found some information on the family for you that hopefully will help you track down some relatives. I'm attaching what records I could find.
Charles George Roe, born 13 Sep 1879 in London, Ontario married Hattie May Finch born 19 Aug 1878 in London, ON. They married on 21 August 1899 in Niagara Falls. Charles was a cigar maker and died 4 July 1942 in Vancouver, BC. I found an obituary for him. Hattie died 8 May 1955 in Vancouver.
Charles and Hattie had five children:
1. Marcus Charles Roe was born 16 July 1900 in London, ON and died 14 May 1902 in Victoria, BC.
2. Mary Mable Roe was born 15 Aug 1901 in London, ON. She first married Frederick Robert Bennett on 4 May 1922 in Vancouver. They divorced and she married Hector Raymond McFee on 21 Sep 1928. She died 31 Dec 1976 in Vancouver. Her death certificate informant was her nephew Larry Roe.
3. Margaret Roe was born 7 Dec 1903 in London, ON. She married Robert John Barnum on 7 May 1926 in Vancouver. They divorced and she married Walter Larsen. She died of accidental drowning in Vancouver on 8 Aug 1941.
4. Sylvia Phylis Roe was born in 1909 in Victoria and died 22 Feb 1919 in Vancouver.
5. Charles George Roe jr was born 3 Nov 1913 in Victoria. He married Edna Phyllis McArthur. He died 24 June 1981 in Victoria.
Charles Roe's sister Mabel was born 20 June 1884 in London, ON. She first married Robert Johnston on 29 June 1903 in New Westminster, BC. They were divorced 7 Oct 1929 in Victoria. She then married Harry Edwards. She died 3 Nov 1975 in Richmond, BC. Her death certificate informant was her son Clifford Johnstone.
Hope that's some help.
Cheers,
Soosi

Hi, Thanks for all the great information, are you able to find the divorce certificate for Mabel Roe and Robert Johnston or the Marriage Certificate for Mabel Roe and Harry Edwards........and any info on whether Harry Edwards was married before he married Mabel.
Thanks very much

Surprised to read your thread! I am the granddaughter of Charles and Hattie Roe, daughter of Charles and Edna Roe. I live in the interior of BC, am married and the mother of five daughters and thirteen grandchildren. Have just begun this search and was surprised to find so much info so easily (so far). I am in touch with my cousin (Margaret's daughter) but other than my sister and my mom have lost touch with any other surviving Roe family members.
I' m interested in your connection to this family. Hope to hear from you.

Hi, I'm glad you replied to the post. I hope you have more info so I can keep putting this family tree together. My grandmother was Mabel Roe, she was Charles's sister (I think this info is correct)I am not sure if there were other siblings or not. Their mother and father were Martin Roe and Louisa Allen. I would love to hear what info you have. I did email you so you can reply to me either by post or by email.
Hope to hear from you soon.
